Is stem cell research worth it the potential go that we are giving up?
Consider the potential life that could be lived by the embryo that we are destroying. Is it really worth sacrificing one potential of life for another.
Answers:
Yes. Consider there are thousands of frozen embryos that will never be implanted. And it is just an embryo. It isn't a human being. Potential existence - every egg and sperm cell is potential life. Where, exactly, do you draw the line? Jail women for wasting their eggs by not getting pregnant? Jail men for mastubating and spilling their seed?
Stem cell research is a angelic use of frozen embryos that will never be implanted.
Consider that even if all embryonic stem cell research terminated today, these embryos would still be destroyed, and still would not be implanted to become babies. These embryos are dead even if the research had never even been thought of.
Consider why its ok to annihilate embryos in the name of vain pregnancy attempts, but not ok to take the exact same embryos kill in IVF and use them for research??
Consider the potential life we are giving up by NOT doing this research on embryos that are ALREADY before individual considered for research!
Let's look at it that route. You work in a research lab, and you're with a patient. There is also a vat of just about 50 frozen embryos. Suddenly there's a fire, which one do you save?
The person who is already alive is the moral choice. The embryos used in stem cell research hold no means of supporting themselves unless implanted, ergo they are no better than parasites. We define vivacity as something that is able to support itself, embryos cannot do that.
OK well 1st you seem to assume that they chop up any fertlizied egg they find...that is not the skin.
When embryos were being used they were the discarded which would NEVER be given potential to become human...so nil potential life vs potential cure from illness...easy math.
Now I can see the trade one duration for another point...but then again we mostly find that those who find cures spend all their time working, have no own flesh and blood or lose their families because of their obession with the cure.
Why is that ok? Why should someone be expected to give up their social go to a life of solitude just because they might be able to find some cure?
